htO VOLUME XXXI. COLTOIBUS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER ,16 1810. NUMBER 3. COLUMBUS; FRIDAY EVENING, KEI'TEMHKR 11, 1810. THOMAS L. IIAMER ON LAW. We have had Thomas L. Hamer on Duellino : We have had him on Corporations : We now have the opinion of this luminary on Law, at he undcrttaiuli it. It only remains for this disciple of Fanny Wright to give us his opinion on Church Government and the validity of the Marriage Contract, and we think he will then be prepared to take a degree in the highest school of Locofoco Agrarianism. This gentleman, who has attained to some eminence In politics and the profession of the law, has favoured the publio with his opinion of the law of last winter, entitled " An act farther to amend the act entitled an act to prohibit tho timing and circulating of unauthorized Bank paper." The Sth section of this act, on which the learned gentleman has favored the public, contains the following provision: Seci. 5. "That it shall not be lawful for the Treasurer of Slate, county treasurers, collectors of tolls on any of tho public works of this State, or any receiver of moneys for the use of the State, or any person or persons acting under their authority, or thu authority of either of them, to receive as dues to the Slato, notes, bills, checks, certificates of deposite, or any other description of paper, whatever, calculated or intended to circulate as money or currency, of a list denomination than Jive dollar" It is on the actual requirements of this provision that the learned gentleman has undertaken to enlighten us. He speaks not of the policy of the law as a general measure, hut of its " intention" touching the duty of County Treasurers under it. Hear him : " It is asserted that all sums under five dollars must be paid in gold and silver. Now, there is no such law in Ohio; nor have any such instructions been given by tho Treasurer of Simo. The law of last winter re fers entirely to the State tax, and does not touch the county, township, or school taxes. All those taxes ore payable at the same time and to the same collec tor. How can he rofuse small bills for the amount due for county, township, and school purposed. He dare not do it, If a man's taxes are three dollars, one for State, and two dollars for other taxes and three dollar bill sliould be offered, how ridiculous it would be, for the collector to take the bill for county, township and school tax, and give a silver dollar in change, and then let the fanner hand him back the silver dollar for his State tax I Mark the language nf this learned Lawyer there is no tuck law in Ohio" ! and then mirk the pettifog. ging quibble by which he is enabled to avoid jutt tuch a law : " How ridiculout it would be for the Collector Treasurer he means to take the three dollar bill for county, township, and school tax, and give a silver dol lar in change"! Sure enough, how ridiculnut it would be and it is slill more ridicuhue to pass a law renuir- ing such a course to avoid its penalties, taking it for granted that the learned gentleman is exactly right in his calculation. But it is clear that he either knew not what he was writing about, or that he cared noi what he wrote in mhnr words, hs was giving an opi nion to suit his client, rather than I true exposition of the " intentions of the law. Does not the gentleman know that the Schml lax is a Slate tax t Then let the farmer hand him back the silver dollar for his State tax" ! Really the ingenuity of Locofoco Law-makers and Lawyers is noar akin to the black art. Where is the tilicr dollar to come from 1 and why pass a law to create one currency fur the people and another for the State! It appears to have been in humble imitation of the General Government, with the gold and tilver for the Oflice-holders, and Treasury notes for the People. It is a gratifying sight, very, to see the noble pro fessors of the law dignifying their calling in marchin boldly to their object by such prodigious exertion o intellect as is displayed by this learned gentleman !-The old musty professors used to talk much about tl spirit of the law: But hers Is a man who goes by the ABC of the thing he slicks to the letter! Bu why all this prodigious learning why docs it become necessary to spend so much talent In giving Instruc tions about handing back and forth the liher dollar. The 7 ill section of lliis same bill is in Ihe words fol lowing, and shows more clearly Ihe obligations under which he has placed us : Sec. 7. "That any such person or persona men lloneo bihj uescnuad in tne III ill section of this act, dating any of the provisions of said fifth section, shall tnrleit anil pay liir each and every such violation or of- icncr, one hundred dollurs, to be recovered bv anv nor Son suing for the same, in action of debt, in the name of the Stale of Ohio, to ha paid over by the officer be- ore Whom it is recovered to the treasurer of Iheeoui ty in which the mil may be brought, for llin use of common schools In said county, and every such viol tion or offence shall, moreover, bo good cause for re moval irom oince. nere is something that would make a penny-wi man open his eyes before ho vonlured upon the hand' ing tack and orA system, did not this learned gonllo man come in and clear up the matter to a charm. Hear him again on " intentions" : " The intention of the law is to require Ihe collector lonnug up ine staic tare to i.utumuus, in diiih ol live dollars and upwards; and no bills of a less denomiiiS' tion than five will ba received there for Ihe Slate tnX' es. Such his been the practice at the Slate Treasury for years and tho Ihw now sanctions and cnlorcea th practice. All that the treasurer of Ihe county has do is, to collect thu taxes of every description then select nut his bills of five dollars end upwards, for Ihe Stale Treasury, and leave the small bills in the County Treasury, to bo used nt home. Besides, he will be compelled to havo small bills every day, whilst collecting, to make change for the peoplo ; and a large fiuilUr. those received w ill bo paid out again before le gets through," Thus ends Mr. Hamer on law. But as loiicf, let us lest him a little. He says "Our Treasurer has received his inslructions from the State Treasurer ; the y are jutt the mm he hat received for yean past." We have before us one of tho State Treasurer's Circulars, In which is Incorporated the uiholc of the fifth tection of the act on which the learned gentleman hat favoured Ihe public with hit opinion and inasmuch as the said lnw was only passed on the 23d of March, 1810, It would appear that Ihe gentleman's chronology is at fault, even though his law might save his client from th 100 dollar penally I Really, Hamer on Taxes, goes fur beyond 1 1 amor on Duelling or CvrMrefiens, Since Ihe above was w ritten, our eyes have rested on the Cincinnati Gametic of the 8 lit instant, contain- ing some strictures on Mr. Hauler's legal opinion. Mr. Wright, the Editor, was formerly a Judge of Ihe Supreme Court. We quote from Ihe Gaxetia for the public information : "It is true, si Mr. II. supposes, that the lnw of Inst winter, to which he refers, iinnoaes s nenallv of lot) dollars upon any person who shall "rewire at duet to the Slate, ' any deuription of bill, less than five dollars I But is it true, that Ihe lnw was designed to permit Ihe collector to receive pMliilnted paper and to exchange it, If Mr. Hamer maintains that, why was the penalty imposed upon tho receipt of the small bills 1 Will he answer! "Mr. Hamer asks: " how can he (the Treasurer) re fuse tmallbillt for the amount due for county, township and school purposes! Ho dare not do it" Let us see. He dare not refuse, if the law permit him to receive them, or if it requiret their receipt. You assert that no law requires Ihe payment of Bums under five dollars, in specie but is there none providing punishment for passing or receiving such bills! " Under the laws of Ohio, our own Banks can neither issue, put in circulation, receive or exchange any note less than five dollars, except to redeom those already in circulation, under pain of forfeiting their charters, and a fine upon the agent or officer acting in the premises of 100 dollars. The 4lh section of the act to amend the act nrnhibiting the issuimr and circula ting unauthorized Bank naner. &c. which passed on the 23d of March, 18-10, expressly declares it unlawful for any perton " to pott, transfer, or circulate, or to re- nt, any Kind ol note "ot less uenominaiiou man e dollars, unless the same shall have been issued by, d mudenavahloat. one of the incorporated Banks of is Slate," under Ihe penalty of ten dnllnrt "for each id cverv" violation or offence. 38(A Uhio lawt 115, We all know, there are no small hills of our own banks circulation, or scarcely any lliey have been with-rawn and the law prohibits the issue of any more. hat being the case, the County treasurer win nave no small bills issued by the Uhio incorporated nanus, next to none, offered in payment of laxes, and we havo shown that the law makes it unlawful for the tax- ayer to past to htm, and lor hnn to recant any oiner ills less than Are dollars. These provisions must have escaped Mr. Hamer's notice, or he could not have made the publication he has. Under this law, we ask, how can the County Treasurer receive small bills for any amount due for county, township, or school purposes! He dare not do it." MORE THAN A HINT. The Statesman is parading before its readers Whig circulars for promoting efficient organization, and urging to aclivo exertions and vigilance in the prevention of frauds at tho polls, which it characterizes as the blackest scheme of fraud ever concocted in the Union." Now we shall not quarrel with the States. man about Ihe correctness or incorrectness of its as umption. Having given his readers the documents commented upon, we leave it to their intelligence to etermine the weight which the ghost he has tortured them into is entitled to ; and, if he had no more than warned his readers to be on their guard against what is contained in and contemplated by said circulars, and advised them to diligence in counteracting their ef fects, we should have had less occasion to speak out, But unfortunately for his character for honesty, he has the hardihood to openly call upon his own party to " go to work" and do what he has been so loudly con demnine in the Whirrs. His words are: "Go to work, democrats, and counteract these designs. You see in this, Ihe plan of the Bankers, and you will know how to meet it. Read and act meet the one. my on his own grounds of organization, if no other way will answer." The frauds and forgeries already detected have satisfied us of the desperation of the party, and we were confident that some systematic plan of stupendous fraud lay behind the cloud of dust wkiah ih Locofocoes have been trying to rai i but we were not prepared to see even the Statesman con ure up a phantom of fraud and use it as a pretext for openly issuing along their lines the word of command to charge by fraud. paying Ilia State in notes of five dollars and upwards ! sentiment 1 Jy" We find the following communication in tho last Wettern Post, printed at Somerset, Perry county. It relates to a matter of some local as well as general importance. As the gentleman to whom it is addressed is now a citizen of our cily, and fearing that it may not meet his eye unless we should publish it, we give it a place in our columns. We trust Mr. Trivitt can answer the queries of his friend in Perry county to Ihe satisfaction of all parties. He must answer now, or suffer the consequences. Without pretendin to express an opinion on Ihe facts, about which we cannot be expected to know much, wa give the article as we find it in Ihs Post: TO WILLIAM TREVlTT, ESQ., Secretary of State of the Stute of Ohio, and Pretident of ine L.icmng oummii neiervoir jMirigruiun Company. Sir: There is a matter of some public interest about which 1 wish to be informed, and as the same matter involves personal relations of interest, I, from my position in relaiion lo both, feel thai 1 have a riirlr to call on you for information, which I believe yuu only can give, and which from your official relation yon are bound to furnish. Un the loth ol March, 1839, (when, IT my memory aerves me right, you honored Ihe county of Perry by serving ihe People as their Representative,) a law was passed entitled "An act to amend the act entitled an act to incorporate the Perry Improvement Company," by which amendatory act, passed on the 16th nf March, Just at the conclusion of the session and in Ihe hurry of business, it was provided, in addition to the important affair of chnnging Ihe style of the coin-pany, " that so soon as the stockholders of Ihe Improvement Company shall have organized by the election of Directors, and oilier officers, under the law incorporating said company, Ihe President thereof shall be authorized to draw upon the tinrrrmr of this Stale for Ihe appropriation of SIX THOUSAND HOLLARS horelol'uro made, hut as yet unexpended," ko. Now, as you are Ihe President of said Company and as said jit thousuntl dolturt havo been drawn from ti, 'r.M..y i.u crJor nf your friend Ihe Governor, I, as a stockholder in said company, desire to know how and where the said money was expended: wneiiict on the improvement atorcsanl, In which Ihe public as well as Ihe stockholders feel some interest, or whether it has gnus into the land speculations in which his Excellency and yourself have been engaged. It will be seen, on reterence to the amended law to which I have alluded, that the jfjti.OOO could not have been drawn from the Treasury unlil His Excellency the Governor " received satisfactory evidence thai six thousand dollars had been subscribed by responsible persons or tncorwraions lo Dtp capital stock of said company, and three thousand dollars actually paid in on taid subscription." Will you inform me and the public whether this provision ol ilia law lias heen Impartially complied with, and, if so, what has been .i .i I :.. i unnu wiui lire money su puiu in r II is unpleasant, sir, to make these publio Innuirl of you. But ns a friend to the Improvement, having a direct fnlereal In II, both as a stockholder and a cut-aon, I feel that I have a right lo tho information which I ask, and which 1 have failed to acquire by Ihe use of ihe ordinary ineuns of information. You will not, therefore, fail lo make immediate answer to my call. If you decline to do so, Ihe publio will be led lo believe that all is not right. I am informed that you received the money in a cheek from ihe Treasurer on the Franklin Jlank if Columbus, and lhat you have eaid the money was slill there deposited lo your credit as President of said Navigation Company. Is this so! If not, v. hero is ill Please answer, or you will hear again from A STOCKHOLDER. Jy" Mr. Wharton, editor of the Wheeling Times, says, that having occasion lo travel through Harrison, 1 uscarawas, Siark, V nyne, Carrol, and Jcflersou counties, Ohio, he took occasion to sound Ihe hauls cry of " Hurra for Harrison," lo every man ha met or overtook, with a leain or at wurk. Seven hundred and sixty-two persons of the number thus addressed, promptly responded, and but folly-three opposed the GENERAL HARRISON AGAIN AMONG THE PEOPLE. General Harrison met and addressed a large number of the People at Sidney, Shelby county, on Saturday last. He was on his way to Urbana, and was accompanied by Colonel Christie, of New-Orleans, Col. Chambers, of Kentucky, and Col. Anderson, of Cincinnati. The General was escorted from Piqua to Sidney by a committee of the Pioneers of (lie country. As he approached the town, "he was met by a very large procession of people, in canoes, carriages, and on horseback, and was conducted lo (ho mansion of Mr. Joseph Cummins." At one o'clock the General appeared on the stand, and addressed Ihe People for about an hour. His appearance was greeted by a long and enthusiastic shout from the People. Cols. Christie and Chambers also addressed Ihe multitude. We gather these particulars from the Sidney Auro ra, whose Editor apologizes Tor inattention to his paper, by assigning sickness as tho cause. We learn from other sources that the utmost enthusiasm prevails throughout lhat whole region of country. The People are thoroughly aroused to a sense of their duty. GRAND TURN-OUT AT URIUNA. We learn incidentally by a gentleman who was at Urbana, that there was an immense gathering of the real Democracy at that place on Tuesday last, to re ceive and welcome General Harrison. We can give none of the particulars, and our informant was unable to form any estimate of the numbers present. 1 he People were there in crowds, and wore computed by the acre. Every avenue and street was full the fields were full ; and all was joy and eager curiosity. Gen Harrison addressed (he immense concourse, and our informant says his voice was the only one heard by those on the outside of the mass. Estimates were made of the numbers present, varying from 15,000 lo 25,000. Ex-Governour Mctcalfs, of Kentucky, ii is said, was among the number present. W shall soon have full accounts of this splendid Convention of the People. P. S. The Urbana Citizen of Wednesday morn' ing, contains a sketch of Ihe Great Meeting at that place. We subjoin Ihe additional particulars which it furnishes : "The number in attendance has been variously estimated at from 20,000 to 25,000, and by none, we believe, at less than 20,000. On the even itig of Ihs 7th, Gen. Harrison was escorted into town by a vast procession of his fellow-citizens, in carriages and on horses. Several thousand persons being in town in the evening, and itbeingbeauliful moonlight, they were addressed by Alfred Kolleyand Richard Douglass, Esrs., from the stand in the Public Square, with thrilling effect. But the imposing spectacle witnessed on the morning of the glorious Eioiitii was grand in Ihe extreme, and baffles description. About 8 o'clock the People came pouring in from all quarters, in large and long processions, with Cabins, Canoes, Carriages, Wagons, &c, to welcome the Old Hero, and give their condemning voice1 against the destructive principles and schemes of the Spoilers. At about ton nVlnok ihe. People rraihered around ihe stand in the Public Square, tosee and hear General Harrison. Ho was introduced to the dense mass by M. U. Cor-win, Esq., in a short welcoming speech. The Old Hero then addressed the People for about an hour and a half, in a clear and distinct manner, to their entire satisfaction which was repeatedly evinced by im-menso cheering. The procession then formed and marched to a beautiful grove, at the south end of town, where Ihe vast multitude partook of a bountiful collation prepared for Ihe occasion; after which the People returned to town, and during the aflernoon were addressed in strains of patriotic eloquence byEx-Governour Metcalfe, and Col. John Chnmbers, of Ky., Col. Christie, of La., Iter. Arthur Elliott, of Ohio, and others. Never before did Old Champaign witness ao large an assemblage of iho People within her borders, or such a soul-cheering lime. All were pleased all was euthusiasm. Last, though not least, about FIVE THOUSAND OF THE FAIR DAUGHTERS OF THE LAND were on Ihe ground, and cheered us on with their approving smiles. Heaven bless them all I Gen. Harrison left this morning (ihe Oth) fur Dayton, accompanied by a large cavalcade of citizens. " J7On yesterday, Iho People were again in'.Coun-cil at Dayton. We have no doubt lhat the Convenlion was very large. Gen. Harrison was to be present, to do honour to the memory of his gallant friend Com-Perry, the lOili being the anniversary of Ihe Battle on Lake Erie. CONFESSED AT LAST. Mr. Van Buren has finally let ilia oal out of Ihe bag. Sometime in July laal, a commitlee of his friends in Illinois propounded certain questions lo Mr. Van Buren, but he could not find it convenient to answer until eflcr the Slate election. One of Ihe questions related to the genuineness of llollandVI.il'c. Ho must have the book sent to him bclore he could answ er so important a question, because tho Globe had stated that there wero spurious copies afloat 1 The book was for warded, and he thus endorses it: 'The publication went lo mo bv Mr. Alexander, if a genuine copy of the first idition of Professor Holland's worn, 1 herewith return II, Willi the remark, thai It was written without communication will) me, but eon tains, as far as it goes, a substantially correct history at my poiiucarcourso. 1 am, gentlemen, respectfully, Your obcdienl servant, M.

It will be recollected lhat some lime lust spilng Ihe Western Mail was robbed between Springfield r,nd Columbus, and a considerable sum of money supposed to have been obtained. Suspicion Immediately attached to Ihe driver, but there being no means of establishing the fuel by proof, he wns continued ill sin-ploy as though nothing had happened, or was suspected of him a close observation, however, was kept over hi. n during the whole lime, by ihe guard. Some weeks since, ho addressed a letter to his brother in the State of Now York, off. ring lo give him $500 tor jino out West which, with other details In his brother in-explicable, induced Ihe latter lo write for an explanation. A misdirection of one of his lei t. rs threw it into an office wheie It was not called for by the proper person) and there being no one in tho place of the nsme used In the address, suspicion was excited lhat something was wrong and Ihe guard, ever vigilanl, in connection with the postmaster in Ibis cily, and a number of other gentlemen, opened the letter, and was thereby satisfied of the guilt of Ihe driver. He then proceeded, cautiously, lo approach the driven and securing his confidence, succeeded In obtaining a full knowledge of lha facts, when he threw olf disguise and look possession of the money, amounting to some sixteen to twenty thousand dollars, snd secured the Individual in Jail, 07 The following spirited address, emanating from the Executive Committee of tho Union, at Washington, is taken from the National Intelligencer of Sept. We commend it to the careful perusal of every true Whig in the land : TO THE WHIGS AND CONSERVATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES. Executive Commitlee Room, Washington, Aug. 25, 1840. The splendid election results iust announced from the States of North Carolina, Kentucky, and Indiana, gladden the heart of the patriot, and stimulale him to iruiei enuns iii ine service oi nis country, in these Stales, Ihe enemies of Ihe Constitution and of the prosperity of the Republio are annihilated. The destructives are panic-stricken turn which way they "jaji eicii auriynieo vision is startiea wnn me "nand writing on the wall."- In Alabama, they have barely escaped defeat. Willi forced but feeble shouts, they exult over Illinois, and rejoice that they have been able lo hold their own. Pinco Ihe nomination of General Harrison, the Slates of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Virginia, Lentisi-ana, and North Carolina, all of which voted for Martin Van IIurln in 183G, have proclaimed in no equivocal language their allegiance to the country and its Constitution. The information which we have received, and which we continue lo receive, from the Slates of Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia, is well calculated to inspiro us with fresh confidence in the intelligence and patriotism of the People, and with the convicticn that their slumbering vengeance is awakened inlo life and action, ready lo lay hold of Ihe pillars of the temple which corruption has raised on the ruins of the Constitution and welfare of the nation, and crush beneath its fragments itspower-grasp-ing and infatuated architects. Excessive confidence in our own strength is Ihe only danger to be apprehended. Let us not rost in fancied security. Let us not repose on our laurels so freshly and gallantly won, but rush into the balllofield in quest of new achievements. The enemy is rich in the means of corruption, and they will une them with no sparing hand. A mercenary legion of one hundred thousand oflice-holders, who fight for their salaries and their bread, are arrayed against you. The money of the People, now in the bauds uf ihe President by his sub-treasurers, will tickle the palms of the purchasable. A ribald and stipendiary press, sustained by governmental patronage, will scatter its vile trash among you. 'lo meet successfully these fearful odds ag.niist you, requires vigorous and untiring exertions. Let us not fear that our majorities will be too overwhelming.The Administration and the principles on which it acts should uot only be prostrated, but prostrated effectually and forever. It should pass to its long account amid Ihe exultations of immense majorities, and without the hope of a resurrection. The rebuke about to be administered should not only be severe, but astounding. It is due to the Constitution, to the country, lo retributive justice, and lo posterity, that Ihe political crimes of this Administration should be marked with a reprobation deep as your sufferings, and broad as the Union. The "hie jacel" which the People are about lo write on its tomb should be in capitals, bold and prominent as aro its derelictions from duty. Thus wriilen, it w ill stand through future ages as a political " memenh tniri" to any person who, "dressed in a little brief authority," shall play the tyrant, forgetful of Ihe power that made him. Is there a patriot in the land whose bosom does not swell with piide and exultation at the brilliant prosperity now dawniur on hi desecrated country! On ,..v w. n ..-, iiisiuiv, will, linn pen, will inscribe on bur marble tablets, On ibis day, by ihe al most unanimous voice of a confiding, abused, and intelligent People, was banished from the Capilul Ihe first American Nero, who laughed at Ihe calamities with which he had scourged his countrymen, mocked at the sufferings which he had created, and tauntingly told them " lhat they looked to Government for too much," Then will the country shake ofT Ihe shackles with which folly and madness had bound her young and vigorous limbs, rise wiih new strength, and press onward lo her high destiny. And who among you will not, on that auspicious day, join the joyous song, and with honest pride and patriotic exultation mingle your Voice with the shouts of millions, and exclaim, " I, too, fought at Ihe battle of Waterloo!" To all such who have up to this period stood by as idle spectators of the fierce conflict now being waged between the People and the oflice-holders, let us say, " Delay no longer. Inaction is dangerous to Ihe Republic. Rally on the side of your couutry, and prove your love lo her institutions." We use no hyperbole when we "ay that she is hut one remove from a practical monarchy! Give to Mr. Van Buien a standing army of 200,000 men, and your libeniea sre at an end. Already is he in the possession of the entire revenues of Ihe oonniry. 'I he national purse is at his unlicensed control. Think you that he will abandon his wild schemes of an over- wrought sinbiiion! Think you that he will cease lo urge upon the consideration of Congress the monstrous project of an immense standing army! Think you mat there is In Uongress Independence siilhcleut to deny him any request! No, no " Lay not lhat flattering unction lo your souls." Who could have been found on Ihe first day of January, 1837, bold enough lo have predicted lhat a measure which had been denounced by nearly Iho unanimous voice of the People "disorganizing and revolutionary," as "subversive of Ihe principles of the Government from its earliest history," ns "enlarging lo an alarming extent the boundaries of Executive power," would nl this lime have been Ihe law of the land ! But sueh is the melancholy fact! The National Legislature furnishes you with no protection, no guaranty against Ihe ex-anions of Executive power. It is the fundamental law of "Ihe party" lhat ihe President "can do no wrong." His will is the law of " tho party," both in and out of Congress, and wo to ihe uinti who dares lo oppose it. Ho is denounced as a traitor and a renegadu. Tho sleek hounds of the Executive, thirsty for blood, ore unleashed from their kennels, and with eager scent pursue Ihe object of their hate. They soon banq iei on lha mutilated carcass; with crimsoned muxiles they return lo ibeir master, aiving gratifying evidences lh.it his orders have been faithfully executed. snd nre again kept in reserve for some fresh victim of hxecuttve vengeance. Under tins reign of terror and proscription, place no dependence on Congress. Ii is no longer a shield between Ihe lights of Ihe Peoplo and the usurpation of the President, It caters for Executive gratification, and panders to his craving for power, I ho same men who, lint a short lime since. spoke of a Sub-Treasury bill with horror, and who now condemn the standing army project with apparent siliceiily, will, at llic bidding of iho President, adopt Ihe latter w ith as much unanimity as they enacted the former. The same servile partisan majority who here give him the "puiw," who nl his nod disfranchised, blindly disfranchised a sovereign Slate wiihoul reading one syllable of ihe evidence, will not hesitate lo arm him wilh the "sword" also. There is but one slep between the President and depolic power. l.o no time In throwing yourselves between them. If you value your liberties, achieved by iho blood of your fathers if you would hand them chance, the feed libellers of the Executive organs may announce mat ne is the victim ot disease, and in the last stage of mortality; and attempt to prove it, too, by the affidavits uf some of their vile retainers. With-in lhat period you have also been told that he was in Ihe custody of " keepers," immured in an " iron cage." Be not surprised if you should ere long be informed by the same authority that he had become ihe inmate of a mad-house, and that it should be vouched for by me same "respectable" testimony, Allow us, then, to warn you against yielding the slightest belief to the thousand slanders with which the mendicant press at the Cupilal, and its partisan adjuncts throughout the country, will abound from this lime to the oluse of the elections. Already have they falsified the records or Ihs past, committed forgeries, and scattered their libels broad-cast over the land. Permit us also to call your serious consideration to the importance of an efficient organization. Hiiherto you have been beaten more by the force of the superi or drill and discipline ol your opponents, than by numerical strength ; or rather, their perfe-at organization has enabled them lo bring all their forces inlo the field against you. That organization, in the Northern states especially, extends to the appointment ot committees in all the school disliicts in the soveral lowns. Let us take lessons in this respect from the enemy. For the first time we now present an unbroken and un divided front, writhing under a common suffering, and animated by a common hope. L.et every Iriend ol ins country's welfare be at his post, and in a few short weeks he will witness the total overthrow nt the author of her calamity. R. GARLAND, J. l. LlaiiK, bee y. Chairman Committee. GEN. HARRISON AT TIPPECANOE. If any evidence were wanting to confound the base slanderers of Gen. Harrison's well earned reputation gained by long and faithful service, beyond Ihe records uf history beyond the most flattering approbation of Congress and of all his ootemporaries, when there could be no motive fur doing injustice, we have it in the unpretending Journal of Adam Walker, a soldier in the 4 ill Regiment, who was wounded at the balilu of Tippecanoe. Mr. Walker was a printer his narrative was printed at Keune, N. H., in 1816, and he is represented as an honest, upright man, who could nave no motive to swerve from the truth. The following is an extract from his Journal : "H id this attack been delayed but ten minutes, the troops would have been formed in line of battle, nnd in readiness to receive it. The General had arisen, and in four niinuies more would have ordered the usual signal (throe laps of ihe drum) to he given fertile troops to rise nnd stand to their arms The orderly Musician at the same lime stood in readiness for lhat purpose, awaiting the orders of the General. Some of Ihe troops were up, and silting by the fires." The order was to "lay w ilh oiircalridge boxes on, and our cjuns al our sides," each man having omy lo step five paces in front of his tent to form the lino of battle. "Gen. Harrison received a shot through the rim of his hat. In the heat of Ihe sclinn, his voice was fro 3uently heard and easily distinguished, giving his or-ers in Ihe same culm, cool and collected manner wilh which we had been used to receive them on a drill of parade. The confidence of the troops in Ihe General was unlimited, and his measures were well calculated to gain the particular esteem of the 4th Regiment. All kinds of petty punishments inflicted without authority, for the most trifling errors of the privato soldier, by the pompous sergeant, or the insignificant corporal, were at once prohi iled. A prohibition of other grievances which, hail loo long existed in this ltegt-ment, atonco fixed in the breast of every soldier, an affectionate and lasting regard for their Gcnoral. The benefit of which was fully realized in the conduct of ihe troops in ihe engagement, as well as throughout the campaign."

The New York Locofoco Slate Convenlion, which met at Syracuse on the 2d insi,, nominated William C, Bouck for Governour, and Daniel S. Dickinson for Limit. Governour both men of respeclable, though not distinguished abilities, and whose personal popularity will insure them the fall vole of their party. An Electoral ticket wns also nominated, al Ihe head of which, as Senatorial Electors, are the names uf Samuel Young and George P. Barker. Whether the Conven lion, in ils superior wisdom, voluntarily set aside the recommendation uf the Albany Argus that none but Revolutionary Patriots should be placed upon the tick et, or whether it was unable lo procure the desired material, we have not the means to determine; we presume, however, that the Argus will be fully satisfied with theso gentlemen, the first being an old political hack, and the second a young lawyer of unbounded influence among the low, ranting, obstreperous, and off-hand respondents to ihe political slang and clap trap of demagogues. A Sceert Reproof The Richmond Enquirer in re ference to Mr. Clay's sllusion, in his speech at Nash ville, lo tho charges of cowardice brought against Gen. Harrison, says: "It Is Idle for Mr. Clay to raiso a phantom lhat he might dissipate it ; for no man has pronounced Harrison a coward whose opinion it en titled to retped." What will Bill Allen say to this! Before a year passes over his head he will be glad lo avail himself of his petticoat to hid his shame. The only difficulty will be in providing garments enough for ilia lying fraternity, if the right kind. 37The following ou(rai;, and lha uso lo which it is attempted lo turn it, bears a striking resemblance to a ease which recently occurred not a hundred milei from this city : TAR AND FEATHERS. If a man were disposed lo waste his lime in ex. nosinj the uross falsehoods of the Van Huron press, he I) iver anorrat would keen hnn rnnstanlly em ployed. Among Iho numerous misrepresentations in lie last sliest, is one respecting nn nlt.itr nl I renlon w hich deserves notice. It is not our business to lus tily or even excuse Ihe transaction in which some nf the citizens were concerned, hut merely to recoru me truth.

Many of the citizens became enraged al iho insult oiler, d hy IMS Wreteu 10 a iieieureiess iciiimr, and In the heat of mission, mile him on n rail, with tnr and foutliers.

Whig gain, 8989. Errors excepted. Total Whig Representatives gained, as far as heard from, 37. The roturns thus far received, show a Whig gain, from last year, of about ,0000. The majority will be even larger than at the Presidential election in 1836, when U rose lo 6951. The. Now York Commercial of Saturday afternoon says "It is now certain that the Whigs have carried four out of five members of Congress, and it is not impossible that we have carried the whole delegation. There are not returns enough in, however, from the fifth district, to give any certainty in the matter. The Boston Atlas states lhat there was a report that Washington county had given Fletcher less than 400 ma jority, and that it was confidently believed Caledonia would overbalance that." The New York American of Saturday aflernoon thus sums up Ihe results as far as ascertained "The Whig gains on the State, Legislature, and Congressional tickets, are overwhelming. Returns, nearly complete, from all the districts but Fletcher's (the Sth) show a gain of one member of Congress certain, and the re-election of the three former Whig members by largely increased majorities. Hall's majority 2500 ; Slade 3500 to 4000 ; Evetelt 2000 to 4000; Young, in place of Smith, about 1000 Van Buren majority in 1838, GOO Whig gain in one district 1600. The gain in Ihe popular vole is already 5000! Governor Jennison'a majority will be close on 10,000. From Mr. Fletcher'a district wo have returns from a few towns, showing a Whig gain of 222 votes. The Van Buren majority in Ibis district in 1833 was 487. We entertain no doubt that John Mattocks, the Whig can didate, is elected, and lhat Vermont sends an entire Whig delegation lo Congress. All hail ! then, Ver- oni ! ! " P. it. The Vermont Walchman and State Journal of the 7th, received since the above was put in type, brings a full confirmation. We extract the following: VERMONT'S REPORT. "Isn't lhat Thunder!" We are in the midst of " A BLAZE OF GLO RY :" Vermont has EXTINGUISHED LOCO-FOCOISM, and by Ihe most splendid victory ever schieved in the Union, has maintained her stand at the head of the noble file of Whig Stales. It was her right to rank first for she alone has been "EVER FAITHFUL:" and aha confirms her right now, by giving the LARGEST WHIG MAJORITY, IN PRO PORTION TO HER POPULATION, OF ANY TATE IN THE UNION. Whigs of Indiana we accepted your challenge to give the largest ma jority, proportioned lo Ihe number of freemen : with population less than your own hy at least one-fourth, we have now equalled your splendid majority of 10,000 votes ! As to members of Congress, every dislriet ia Whig!! In the Senate, which stood last year 18 Whigs to 13 Locos, we shall now stand 28 Whigs to Locofocoea ! ! In the House, where we last year ad a bare majority, we shall now stand about 175 Whigs to 55 Locofocoes! ! In a word; VERMONT IS WHIG, North and South, East and West: there is but one small dark spot in the centre, and that will ere long be purified and illuminated by the pure Whig fires which blaxs ao brightly all around us. gyCoinp1ole returns from Fletcher's (5lh) district, give Mattocks, Whig, 179 majority over Fletcher, Van Iluren. Tho Slate, therefore, haa now a unanimous Whig representation in the National Councils last year three Whigs and two Locofocoes. Honor lo Vermont ! LATEST FROM MEXICO.

htO VOLUME XXXI. COLTOIBUS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER ,16 1810. NUMBER 3. COLUMBUS; FRIDAY EVENING, KEI'TEMHKR 11, 1810. THOMAS L. IIAMER ON LAW. We have had Thomas L. Hamer on Duellino : We have had him on Corporations : We now have the opinion of this luminary on Law, at he undcrttaiuli it. It only remains for this disciple of Fanny Wright to give us his opinion on Church Government and the validity of the Marriage Contract, and we think he will then be prepared to take a degree in the highest school of Locofoco Agrarianism. This gentleman, who has attained to some eminence In politics and the profession of the law, has favoured the publio with his opinion of the law of last winter, entitled " An act farther to amend the act entitled an act to prohibit tho timing and circulating of unauthorized Bank paper." The Sth section of this act, on which the learned gentleman has favored the public, contains the following provision: Seci. 5. "That it shall not be lawful for the Treasurer of Slate, county treasurers, collectors of tolls on any of tho public works of this State, or any receiver of moneys for the use of the State, or any person or persons acting under their authority, or thu authority of either of them, to receive as dues to the Slato, notes, bills, checks, certificates of deposite, or any other description of paper, whatever, calculated or intended to circulate as money or currency, of a list denomination than Jive dollar" It is on the actual requirements of this provision that the learned gentleman has undertaken to enlighten us. He speaks not of the policy of the law as a general measure, hut of its " intention" touching the duty of County Treasurers under it. Hear him : " It is asserted that all sums under five dollars must be paid in gold and silver. Now, there is no such law in Ohio; nor have any such instructions been given by tho Treasurer of Simo. The law of last winter re fers entirely to the State tax, and does not touch the county, township, or school taxes. All those taxes ore payable at the same time and to the same collec tor. How can he rofuse small bills for the amount due for county, township, and school purposed. He dare not do it, If a man's taxes are three dollars, one for State, and two dollars for other taxes and three dollar bill sliould be offered, how ridiculous it would be, for the collector to take the bill for county, township and school tax, and give a silver dollar in change, and then let the fanner hand him back the silver dollar for his State tax I Mark the language nf this learned Lawyer there is no tuck law in Ohio" ! and then mirk the pettifog. ging quibble by which he is enabled to avoid jutt tuch a law : " How ridiculout it would be for the Collector Treasurer he means to take the three dollar bill for county, township, and school tax, and give a silver dol lar in change"! Sure enough, how ridiculnut it would be and it is slill more ridicuhue to pass a law renuir- ing such a course to avoid its penalties, taking it for granted that the learned gentleman is exactly right in his calculation. But it is clear that he either knew not what he was writing about, or that he cared noi what he wrote in mhnr words, hs was giving an opi nion to suit his client, rather than I true exposition of the " intentions of the law. Does not the gentleman know that the Schml lax is a Slate tax t Then let the farmer hand him back the silver dollar for his State tax" ! Really the ingenuity of Locofoco Law-makers and Lawyers is noar akin to the black art. Where is the tilicr dollar to come from 1 and why pass a law to create one currency fur the people and another for the State! It appears to have been in humble imitation of the General Government, with the gold and tilver for the Oflice-holders, and Treasury notes for the People. It is a gratifying sight, very, to see the noble pro fessors of the law dignifying their calling in marchin boldly to their object by such prodigious exertion o intellect as is displayed by this learned gentleman !-The old musty professors used to talk much about tl spirit of the law: But hers Is a man who goes by the ABC of the thing he slicks to the letter! Bu why all this prodigious learning why docs it become necessary to spend so much talent In giving Instruc tions about handing back and forth the liher dollar. The 7 ill section of lliis same bill is in Ihe words fol lowing, and shows more clearly Ihe obligations under which he has placed us : Sec. 7. "That any such person or persona men lloneo bihj uescnuad in tne III ill section of this act, dating any of the provisions of said fifth section, shall tnrleit anil pay liir each and every such violation or of- icncr, one hundred dollurs, to be recovered bv anv nor Son suing for the same, in action of debt, in the name of the Stale of Ohio, to ha paid over by the officer be- ore Whom it is recovered to the treasurer of Iheeoui ty in which the mil may be brought, for llin use of common schools In said county, and every such viol tion or offence shall, moreover, bo good cause for re moval irom oince. nere is something that would make a penny-wi man open his eyes before ho vonlured upon the hand' ing tack and orA system, did not this learned gonllo man come in and clear up the matter to a charm. Hear him again on " intentions" : " The intention of the law is to require Ihe collector lonnug up ine staic tare to i.utumuus, in diiih ol live dollars and upwards; and no bills of a less denomiiiS' tion than five will ba received there for Ihe Slate tnX' es. Such his been the practice at the Slate Treasury for years and tho Ihw now sanctions and cnlorcea th practice. All that the treasurer of Ihe county has do is, to collect thu taxes of every description then select nut his bills of five dollars end upwards, for Ihe Stale Treasury, and leave the small bills in the County Treasury, to bo used nt home. Besides, he will be compelled to havo small bills every day, whilst collecting, to make change for the peoplo ; and a large fiuilUr. those received w ill bo paid out again before le gets through," Thus ends Mr. Hamer on law. But as loiicf, let us lest him a little. He says "Our Treasurer has received his inslructions from the State Treasurer ; the y are jutt the mm he hat received for yean past." We have before us one of tho State Treasurer's Circulars, In which is Incorporated the uiholc of the fifth tection of the act on which the learned gentleman hat favoured Ihe public with hit opinion and inasmuch as the said lnw was only passed on the 23d of March, 1810, It would appear that Ihe gentleman's chronology is at fault, even though his law might save his client from th 100 dollar penally I Really, Hamer on Taxes, goes fur beyond 1 1 amor on Duelling or CvrMrefiens, Since Ihe above was w ritten, our eyes have rested on the Cincinnati Gametic of the 8 lit instant, contain- ing some strictures on Mr. Hauler's legal opinion. Mr. Wright, the Editor, was formerly a Judge of Ihe Supreme Court. We quote from Ihe Gaxetia for the public information : "It is true, si Mr. II. supposes, that the lnw of Inst winter, to which he refers, iinnoaes s nenallv of lot) dollars upon any person who shall "rewire at duet to the Slate, ' any deuription of bill, less than five dollars I But is it true, that Ihe lnw was designed to permit Ihe collector to receive pMliilnted paper and to exchange it, If Mr. Hamer maintains that, why was the penalty imposed upon tho receipt of the small bills 1 Will he answer! "Mr. Hamer asks: " how can he (the Treasurer) re fuse tmallbillt for the amount due for county, township and school purposes! Ho dare not do it" Let us see. He dare not refuse, if the law permit him to receive them, or if it requiret their receipt. You assert that no law requires Ihe payment of Bums under five dollars, in specie but is there none providing punishment for passing or receiving such bills! " Under the laws of Ohio, our own Banks can neither issue, put in circulation, receive or exchange any note less than five dollars, except to redeom those already in circulation, under pain of forfeiting their charters, and a fine upon the agent or officer acting in the premises of 100 dollars. The 4lh section of the act to amend the act nrnhibiting the issuimr and circula ting unauthorized Bank naner. &c. which passed on the 23d of March, 18-10, expressly declares it unlawful for any perton " to pott, transfer, or circulate, or to re- nt, any Kind ol note "ot less uenominaiiou man e dollars, unless the same shall have been issued by, d mudenavahloat. one of the incorporated Banks of is Slate," under Ihe penalty of ten dnllnrt "for each id cverv" violation or offence. 38(A Uhio lawt 115, We all know, there are no small hills of our own banks circulation, or scarcely any lliey have been with-rawn and the law prohibits the issue of any more. hat being the case, the County treasurer win nave no small bills issued by the Uhio incorporated nanus, next to none, offered in payment of laxes, and we havo shown that the law makes it unlawful for the tax- ayer to past to htm, and lor hnn to recant any oiner ills less than Are dollars. These provisions must have escaped Mr. Hamer's notice, or he could not have made the publication he has. Under this law, we ask, how can the County Treasurer receive small bills for any amount due for county, township, or school purposes! He dare not do it." MORE THAN A HINT. The Statesman is parading before its readers Whig circulars for promoting efficient organization, and urging to aclivo exertions and vigilance in the prevention of frauds at tho polls, which it characterizes as the blackest scheme of fraud ever concocted in the Union." Now we shall not quarrel with the States. man about Ihe correctness or incorrectness of its as umption. Having given his readers the documents commented upon, we leave it to their intelligence to etermine the weight which the ghost he has tortured them into is entitled to ; and, if he had no more than warned his readers to be on their guard against what is contained in and contemplated by said circulars, and advised them to diligence in counteracting their ef fects, we should have had less occasion to speak out, But unfortunately for his character for honesty, he has the hardihood to openly call upon his own party to " go to work" and do what he has been so loudly con demnine in the Whirrs. His words are: "Go to work, democrats, and counteract these designs. You see in this, Ihe plan of the Bankers, and you will know how to meet it. Read and act meet the one. my on his own grounds of organization, if no other way will answer." The frauds and forgeries already detected have satisfied us of the desperation of the party, and we were confident that some systematic plan of stupendous fraud lay behind the cloud of dust wkiah ih Locofocoes have been trying to rai i but we were not prepared to see even the Statesman con ure up a phantom of fraud and use it as a pretext for openly issuing along their lines the word of command to charge by fraud. paying Ilia State in notes of five dollars and upwards ! sentiment 1 Jy" We find the following communication in tho last Wettern Post, printed at Somerset, Perry county. It relates to a matter of some local as well as general importance. As the gentleman to whom it is addressed is now a citizen of our cily, and fearing that it may not meet his eye unless we should publish it, we give it a place in our columns. We trust Mr. Trivitt can answer the queries of his friend in Perry county to Ihe satisfaction of all parties. He must answer now, or suffer the consequences. Without pretendin to express an opinion on Ihe facts, about which we cannot be expected to know much, wa give the article as we find it in Ihs Post: TO WILLIAM TREVlTT, ESQ., Secretary of State of the Stute of Ohio, and Pretident of ine L.icmng oummii neiervoir jMirigruiun Company. Sir: There is a matter of some public interest about which 1 wish to be informed, and as the same matter involves personal relations of interest, I, from my position in relaiion lo both, feel thai 1 have a riirlr to call on you for information, which I believe yuu only can give, and which from your official relation yon are bound to furnish. Un the loth ol March, 1839, (when, IT my memory aerves me right, you honored Ihe county of Perry by serving ihe People as their Representative,) a law was passed entitled "An act to amend the act entitled an act to incorporate the Perry Improvement Company," by which amendatory act, passed on the 16th nf March, Just at the conclusion of the session and in Ihe hurry of business, it was provided, in addition to the important affair of chnnging Ihe style of the coin-pany, " that so soon as the stockholders of Ihe Improvement Company shall have organized by the election of Directors, and oilier officers, under the law incorporating said company, Ihe President thereof shall be authorized to draw upon the tinrrrmr of this Stale for Ihe appropriation of SIX THOUSAND HOLLARS horelol'uro made, hut as yet unexpended," ko. Now, as you are Ihe President of said Company and as said jit thousuntl dolturt havo been drawn from ti, 'r.M..y i.u crJor nf your friend Ihe Governor, I, as a stockholder in said company, desire to know how and where the said money was expended: wneiiict on the improvement atorcsanl, In which Ihe public as well as Ihe stockholders feel some interest, or whether it has gnus into the land speculations in which his Excellency and yourself have been engaged. It will be seen, on reterence to the amended law to which I have alluded, that the jfjti.OOO could not have been drawn from the Treasury unlil His Excellency the Governor " received satisfactory evidence thai six thousand dollars had been subscribed by responsible persons or tncorwraions lo Dtp capital stock of said company, and three thousand dollars actually paid in on taid subscription." Will you inform me and the public whether this provision ol ilia law lias heen Impartially complied with, and, if so, what has been .i .i I :.. i unnu wiui lire money su puiu in r II is unpleasant, sir, to make these publio Innuirl of you.

You will not, therefore, fail lo make immediate answer to my call. If you decline to do so, Ihe publio will be led lo believe that all is not right. I am informed that you received the money in a cheek from ihe Treasurer on the Franklin Jlank if Columbus, and lhat you have eaid the money was slill there deposited lo your credit as President of said Navigation Company. Is this so! If not, v. hero is ill Please answer, or you will hear again from A STOCKHOLDER. Jy" Mr. Wharton, editor of the Wheeling Times, says, that having occasion lo travel through Harrison, 1 uscarawas, Siark, V nyne, Carrol, and Jcflersou counties, Ohio, he took occasion to sound Ihe hauls cry of " Hurra for Harrison," lo every man ha met or overtook, with a leain or at wurk. Seven hundred and sixty-two persons of the number thus addressed, promptly responded, and but folly-three opposed the GENERAL HARRISON AGAIN AMONG THE PEOPLE. General Harrison met and addressed a large number of the People at Sidney, Shelby county, on Saturday last. He was on his way to Urbana, and was accompanied by Colonel Christie, of New-Orleans, Col. Chambers, of Kentucky, and Col. Anderson, of Cincinnati. The General was escorted from Piqua to Sidney by a committee of the Pioneers of (lie country. As he approached the town, "he was met by a very large procession of people, in canoes, carriages, and on horseback, and was conducted lo (ho mansion of Mr. Joseph Cummins." At one o'clock the General appeared on the stand, and addressed Ihe People for about an hour. His appearance was greeted by a long and enthusiastic shout from the People. Cols. Christie and Chambers also addressed Ihe multitude. We gather these particulars from the Sidney Auro ra, whose Editor apologizes Tor inattention to his paper, by assigning sickness as tho cause. We learn from other sources that the utmost enthusiasm prevails throughout lhat whole region of country. The People are thoroughly aroused to a sense of their duty. GRAND TURN-OUT AT URIUNA. We learn incidentally by a gentleman who was at Urbana, that there was an immense gathering of the real Democracy at that place on Tuesday last, to re ceive and welcome General Harrison. We can give none of the particulars, and our informant was unable to form any estimate of the numbers present. 1 he People were there in crowds, and wore computed by the acre. Every avenue and street was full the fields were full ; and all was joy and eager curiosity. Gen Harrison addressed (he immense concourse, and our informant says his voice was the only one heard by those on the outside of the mass. Estimates were made of the numbers present, varying from 15,000 lo 25,000. Ex-Governour Mctcalfs, of Kentucky, ii is said, was among the number present. W shall soon have full accounts of this splendid Convention of the People. P. S. The Urbana Citizen of Wednesday morn' ing, contains a sketch of Ihe Great Meeting at that place. We subjoin Ihe additional particulars which it furnishes : "The number in attendance has been variously estimated at from 20,000 to 25,000, and by none, we believe, at less than 20,000. On the even itig of Ihs 7th, Gen. Harrison was escorted into town by a vast procession of his fellow-citizens, in carriages and on horses. Several thousand persons being in town in the evening, and itbeingbeauliful moonlight, they were addressed by Alfred Kolleyand Richard Douglass, Esrs., from the stand in the Public Square, with thrilling effect. But the imposing spectacle witnessed on the morning of the glorious Eioiitii was grand in Ihe extreme, and baffles description. About 8 o'clock the People came pouring in from all quarters, in large and long processions, with Cabins, Canoes, Carriages, Wagons, &c, to welcome the Old Hero, and give their condemning voice1 against the destructive principles and schemes of the Spoilers. At about ton nVlnok ihe. People rraihered around ihe stand in the Public Square, tosee and hear General Harrison. Ho was introduced to the dense mass by M. U. Cor-win, Esq., in a short welcoming speech. The Old Hero then addressed the People for about an hour and a half, in a clear and distinct manner, to their entire satisfaction which was repeatedly evinced by im-menso cheering. The procession then formed and marched to a beautiful grove, at the south end of town, where Ihe vast multitude partook of a bountiful collation prepared for Ihe occasion; after which the People returned to town, and during the aflernoon were addressed in strains of patriotic eloquence byEx-Governour Metcalfe, and Col. John Chnmbers, of Ky., Col. Christie, of La., Iter. Arthur Elliott, of Ohio, and others. Never before did Old Champaign witness ao large an assemblage of iho People within her borders, or such a soul-cheering lime. All were pleased all was euthusiasm. Last, though not least, about FIVE THOUSAND OF THE FAIR DAUGHTERS OF THE LAND were on Ihe ground, and cheered us on with their approving smiles. Heaven bless them all I Gen. Harrison left this morning (ihe Oth) fur Dayton, accompanied by a large cavalcade of citizens. " J7On yesterday, Iho People were again in'.Coun-cil at Dayton. We have no doubt lhat the Convenlion was very large. Gen. Harrison was to be present, to do honour to the memory of his gallant friend Com-Perry, the lOili being the anniversary of Ihe Battle on Lake Erie. CONFESSED AT LAST. Mr. Van Buren has finally let ilia oal out of Ihe bag.

It will be recollected lhat some lime lust spilng Ihe Western Mail was robbed between Springfield r,nd Columbus, and a considerable sum of money supposed to have been obtained. Suspicion Immediately attached to Ihe driver, but there being no means of establishing the fuel by proof, he wns continued ill sin-ploy as though nothing had happened, or was suspected of him a close observation, however, was kept over hi. n during the whole lime, by ihe guard. Some weeks since, ho addressed a letter to his brother in the State of Now York, off. ring lo give him $500 tor jino out West which, with other details In his brother in-explicable, induced Ihe latter lo write for an explanation. A misdirection of one of his lei t. rs threw it into an office wheie It was not called for by the proper person) and there being no one in tho place of the nsme used In the address, suspicion was excited lhat something was wrong and Ihe guard, ever vigilanl, in connection with the postmaster in Ibis cily, and a number of other gentlemen, opened the letter, and was thereby satisfied of the guilt of Ihe driver. He then proceeded, cautiously, lo approach the driven and securing his confidence, succeeded In obtaining a full knowledge of lha facts, when he threw olf disguise and look possession of the money, amounting to some sixteen to twenty thousand dollars, snd secured the Individual in Jail, 07 The following spirited address, emanating from the Executive Committee of tho Union, at Washington, is taken from the National Intelligencer of Sept. We commend it to the careful perusal of every true Whig in the land : TO THE WHIGS AND CONSERVATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES. Executive Commitlee Room, Washington, Aug. 25, 1840. The splendid election results iust announced from the States of North Carolina, Kentucky, and Indiana, gladden the heart of the patriot, and stimulale him to iruiei enuns iii ine service oi nis country, in these Stales, Ihe enemies of Ihe Constitution and of the prosperity of the Republio are annihilated. The destructives are panic-stricken turn which way they "jaji eicii auriynieo vision is startiea wnn me "nand writing on the wall."- In Alabama, they have barely escaped defeat. Willi forced but feeble shouts, they exult over Illinois, and rejoice that they have been able lo hold their own. Pinco Ihe nomination of General Harrison, the Slates of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Virginia, Lentisi-ana, and North Carolina, all of which voted for Martin Van IIurln in 183G, have proclaimed in no equivocal language their allegiance to the country and its Constitution. The information which we have received, and which we continue lo receive, from the Slates of Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia, is well calculated to inspiro us with fresh confidence in the intelligence and patriotism of the People, and with the convicticn that their slumbering vengeance is awakened inlo life and action, ready lo lay hold of Ihe pillars of the temple which corruption has raised on the ruins of the Constitution and welfare of the nation, and crush beneath its fragments itspower-grasp-ing and infatuated architects. Excessive confidence in our own strength is Ihe only danger to be apprehended. Let us not rost in fancied security. Let us not repose on our laurels so freshly and gallantly won, but rush into the balllofield in quest of new achievements. The enemy is rich in the means of corruption, and they will une them with no sparing hand. A mercenary legion of one hundred thousand oflice-holders, who fight for their salaries and their bread, are arrayed against you. The money of the People, now in the bauds uf ihe President by his sub-treasurers, will tickle the palms of the purchasable. A ribald and stipendiary press, sustained by governmental patronage, will scatter its vile trash among you. 'lo meet successfully these fearful odds ag.niist you, requires vigorous and untiring exertions. Let us not fear that our majorities will be too overwhelming.The Administration and the principles on which it acts should uot only be prostrated, but prostrated effectually and forever. It should pass to its long account amid Ihe exultations of immense majorities, and without the hope of a resurrection. The rebuke about to be administered should not only be severe, but astounding. It is due to the Constitution, to the country, lo retributive justice, and lo posterity, that Ihe political crimes of this Administration should be marked with a reprobation deep as your sufferings, and broad as the Union. The "hie jacel" which the People are about lo write on its tomb should be in capitals, bold and prominent as aro its derelictions from duty. Thus wriilen, it w ill stand through future ages as a political " memenh tniri" to any person who, "dressed in a little brief authority," shall play the tyrant, forgetful of Ihe power that made him. Is there a patriot in the land whose bosom does not swell with piide and exultation at the brilliant prosperity now dawniur on hi desecrated country! On ,..v w. n ..-, iiisiuiv, will, linn pen, will inscribe on bur marble tablets, On ibis day, by ihe al most unanimous voice of a confiding, abused, and intelligent People, was banished from the Capilul Ihe first American Nero, who laughed at Ihe calamities with which he had scourged his countrymen, mocked at the sufferings which he had created, and tauntingly told them " lhat they looked to Government for too much," Then will the country shake ofT Ihe shackles with which folly and madness had bound her young and vigorous limbs, rise wiih new strength, and press onward lo her high destiny. And who among you will not, on that auspicious day, join the joyous song, and with honest pride and patriotic exultation mingle your Voice with the shouts of millions, and exclaim, " I, too, fought at Ihe battle of Waterloo!" To all such who have up to this period stood by as idle spectators of the fierce conflict now being waged between the People and the oflice-holders, let us say, " Delay no longer. Inaction is dangerous to Ihe Republic. Rally on the side of your couutry, and prove your love lo her institutions." We use no hyperbole when we "ay that she is hut one remove from a practical monarchy! Give to Mr. Van Buien a standing army of 200,000 men, and your libeniea sre at an end. Already is he in the possession of the entire revenues of Ihe oonniry. 'I he national purse is at his unlicensed control. Think you that he will abandon his wild schemes of an over- wrought sinbiiion! Think you that he will cease lo urge upon the consideration of Congress the monstrous project of an immense standing army! Think you mat there is In Uongress Independence siilhcleut to deny him any request! No, no " Lay not lhat flattering unction lo your souls." Who could have been found on Ihe first day of January, 1837, bold enough lo have predicted lhat a measure which had been denounced by nearly Iho unanimous voice of the People "disorganizing and revolutionary," as "subversive of Ihe principles of the Government from its earliest history," ns "enlarging lo an alarming extent the boundaries of Executive power," would nl this lime have been Ihe law of the land ! But sueh is the melancholy fact! The National Legislature furnishes you with no protection, no guaranty against Ihe ex-anions of Executive power. It is the fundamental law of "Ihe party" lhat ihe President "can do no wrong." His will is the law of " tho party," both in and out of Congress, and wo to ihe uinti who dares lo oppose it. Ho is denounced as a traitor and a renegadu. Tho sleek hounds of the Executive, thirsty for blood, ore unleashed from their kennels, and with eager scent pursue Ihe object of their hate. They soon banq iei on lha mutilated carcass; with crimsoned muxiles they return lo ibeir master, aiving gratifying evidences lh.it his orders have been faithfully executed. snd nre again kept in reserve for some fresh victim of hxecuttve vengeance. Under tins reign of terror and proscription, place no dependence on Congress. Ii is no longer a shield between Ihe lights of Ihe Peoplo and the usurpation of the President, It caters for Executive gratification, and panders to his craving for power, I ho same men who, lint a short lime since. spoke of a Sub-Treasury bill with horror, and who now condemn the standing army project with apparent siliceiily, will, at llic bidding of iho President, adopt Ihe latter w ith as much unanimity as they enacted the former. The same servile partisan majority who here give him the "puiw," who nl his nod disfranchised, blindly disfranchised a sovereign Slate wiihoul reading one syllable of ihe evidence, will not hesitate lo arm him wilh the "sword" also. There is but one slep between the President and depolic power. l.o no time In throwing yourselves between them. If you value your liberties, achieved by iho blood of your fathers if you would hand them chance, the feed libellers of the Executive organs may announce mat ne is the victim ot disease, and in the last stage of mortality; and attempt to prove it, too, by the affidavits uf some of their vile retainers. With-in lhat period you have also been told that he was in Ihe custody of " keepers," immured in an " iron cage." Be not surprised if you should ere long be informed by the same authority that he had become ihe inmate of a mad-house, and that it should be vouched for by me same "respectable" testimony, Allow us, then, to warn you against yielding the slightest belief to the thousand slanders with which the mendicant press at the Cupilal, and its partisan adjuncts throughout the country, will abound from this lime to the oluse of the elections. Already have they falsified the records or Ihs past, committed forgeries, and scattered their libels broad-cast over the land. Permit us also to call your serious consideration to the importance of an efficient organization. Hiiherto you have been beaten more by the force of the superi or drill and discipline ol your opponents, than by numerical strength ; or rather, their perfe-at organization has enabled them lo bring all their forces inlo the field against you. That organization, in the Northern states especially, extends to the appointment ot committees in all the school disliicts in the soveral lowns. Let us take lessons in this respect from the enemy. For the first time we now present an unbroken and un divided front, writhing under a common suffering, and animated by a common hope. L.et every Iriend ol ins country's welfare be at his post, and in a few short weeks he will witness the total overthrow nt the author of her calamity. R. GARLAND, J. l. LlaiiK, bee y. Chairman Committee. GEN. HARRISON AT TIPPECANOE. If any evidence were wanting to confound the base slanderers of Gen. Harrison's well earned reputation gained by long and faithful service, beyond Ihe records uf history beyond the most flattering approbation of Congress and of all his ootemporaries, when there could be no motive fur doing injustice, we have it in the unpretending Journal of Adam Walker, a soldier in the 4 ill Regiment, who was wounded at the balilu of Tippecanoe. Mr. Walker was a printer his narrative was printed at Keune, N. H., in 1816, and he is represented as an honest, upright man, who could nave no motive to swerve from the truth. The following is an extract from his Journal : "H id this attack been delayed but ten minutes, the troops would have been formed in line of battle, nnd in readiness to receive it. The General had arisen, and in four niinuies more would have ordered the usual signal (throe laps of ihe drum) to he given fertile troops to rise nnd stand to their arms The orderly Musician at the same lime stood in readiness for lhat purpose, awaiting the orders of the General. Some of Ihe troops were up, and silting by the fires." The order was to "lay w ilh oiircalridge boxes on, and our cjuns al our sides," each man having omy lo step five paces in front of his tent to form the lino of battle. "Gen. Harrison received a shot through the rim of his hat. In the heat of Ihe sclinn, his voice was fro 3uently heard and easily distinguished, giving his or-ers in Ihe same culm, cool and collected manner wilh which we had been used to receive them on a drill of parade. The confidence of the troops in Ihe General was unlimited, and his measures were well calculated to gain the particular esteem of the 4th Regiment. All kinds of petty punishments inflicted without authority, for the most trifling errors of the privato soldier, by the pompous sergeant, or the insignificant corporal, were at once prohi iled. A prohibition of other grievances which, hail loo long existed in this ltegt-ment, atonco fixed in the breast of every soldier, an affectionate and lasting regard for their Gcnoral. The benefit of which was fully realized in the conduct of ihe troops in ihe engagement, as well as throughout the campaign." "Nov. 10 Arrived at Vinceues nearly at the same lime the army did by land, and immediately after were placed in excellent quarters, and every possible atten- on to ihe sick and wounded, by tiov. Harrison and )ol. Iloyd, who always evinced the most anxious so- icitude for the welfaie of Iheir soldiers." C7- VERMONT ELECTION. ANOTHER BENNINGTON BATTLE THE TO.

Tho ink wilh which Iho slander was penned was scarcely dry whenwo heard of him at pert Meigs, on of the scenes of his glory, addressing, in ihe full voles of vigorous manhood snd wilh the fervor of ynmh, an immense mulii-tude, on the great subject which sn deeply nuiinle Iho publio mind, nnd vindicating his fair fame from the aspersion, which malignity has attempted lo east upon II. More rerently has he visited Fori Greenville, and again, wilh his usual ability nnd eloquence, addressed a large concourse of hir fclluw-dliztns. Soon, per- NEW YORK LOCOFOCO NOMINATIONS. The New York Locofoco Slate Convenlion, which met at Syracuse on the 2d insi,, nominated William C, Bouck for Governour, and Daniel S. Dickinson for Limit. Governour both men of respeclable, though not distinguished abilities, and whose personal popularity will insure them the fall vole of their party. An Electoral ticket wns also nominated, al Ihe head of which, as Senatorial Electors, are the names uf Samuel Young and George P. Barker. Whether the Conven lion, in ils superior wisdom, voluntarily set aside the recommendation uf the Albany Argus that none but Revolutionary Patriots should be placed upon the tick et, or whether it was unable lo procure the desired material, we have not the means to determine; we presume, however, that the Argus will be fully satisfied with theso gentlemen, the first being an old political hack, and the second a young lawyer of unbounded influence among the low, ranting, obstreperous, and off-hand respondents to ihe political slang and clap trap of demagogues. A Sceert Reproof The Richmond Enquirer in re ference to Mr. Clay's sllusion, in his speech at Nash ville, lo tho charges of cowardice brought against Gen. Harrison, says: "It Is Idle for Mr. Clay to raiso a phantom lhat he might dissipate it ; for no man has pronounced Harrison a coward whose opinion it en titled to retped." What will Bill Allen say to this! Before a year passes over his head he will be glad lo avail himself of his petticoat to hid his shame. The only difficulty will be in providing garments enough for ilia lying fraternity, if the right kind. 37The following ou(rai;, and lha uso lo which it is attempted lo turn it, bears a striking resemblance to a ease which recently occurred not a hundred milei from this city : TAR AND FEATHERS. If a man were disposed lo waste his lime in ex. nosinj the uross falsehoods of the Van Huron press, he I) iver anorrat would keen hnn rnnstanlly em ployed. Among Iho numerous misrepresentations in lie last sliest, is one respecting nn nlt.itr nl I renlon w hich deserves notice. It is not our business to lus tily or even excuse Ihe transaction in which some nf the citizens were concerned, hut merely to recoru me truth. A man of dissolute hnhils, madu a brutal at tack nn an nged female of lhat village. His object was of a nature loo indecent to mention In a news paper. Many of the citizens became enraged al iho insult oiler, d hy IMS Wreteu 10 a iieieureiess iciiimr, and In the heat of mission, mile him on n rail, with tnr and foutliers.

" Ho was rode on a rail," say they, "because he wns Democrat." Shame shame upon the man who has the meanness lo circulate such a slatemeul, or try to extract voles for Ihe Piesidenl out of sueh a vile po litical compound as lar and leathers, j Woruiouj Ado, Whig majority 10,032; last year, In same towns, 4043. Whig gain, 8989. Errors excepted. Total Whig Representatives gained, as far as heard from, 37. The roturns thus far received, show a Whig gain, from last year, of about ,0000. The majority will be even larger than at the Presidential election in 1836, when U rose lo 6951. The. Now York Commercial of Saturday afternoon says "It is now certain that the Whigs have carried four out of five members of Congress, and it is not impossible that we have carried the whole delegation. There are not returns enough in, however, from the fifth district, to give any certainty in the matter. The Boston Atlas states lhat there was a report that Washington county had given Fletcher less than 400 ma jority, and that it was confidently believed Caledonia would overbalance that." The New York American of Saturday aflernoon thus sums up Ihe results as far as ascertained "The Whig gains on the State, Legislature, and Congressional tickets, are overwhelming. Returns, nearly complete, from all the districts but Fletcher's (the Sth) show a gain of one member of Congress certain, and the re-election of the three former Whig members by largely increased majorities. Hall's majority 2500 ; Slade 3500 to 4000 ; Evetelt 2000 to 4000; Young, in place of Smith, about 1000 Van Buren majority in 1838, GOO Whig gain in one district 1600. The gain in Ihe popular vole is already 5000! Governor Jennison'a majority will be close on 10,000. From Mr. Fletcher'a district wo have returns from a few towns, showing a Whig gain of 222 votes. The Van Buren majority in Ibis district in 1833 was 487. We entertain no doubt that John Mattocks, the Whig can didate, is elected, and lhat Vermont sends an entire Whig delegation lo Congress. All hail ! then, Ver- oni ! ! " P. it. The Vermont Walchman and State Journal of the 7th, received since the above was put in type, brings a full confirmation. We extract the following: VERMONT'S REPORT. "Isn't lhat Thunder!" We are in the midst of " A BLAZE OF GLO RY :" Vermont has EXTINGUISHED LOCO-FOCOISM, and by Ihe most splendid victory ever schieved in the Union, has maintained her stand at the head of the noble file of Whig Stales. It was her right to rank first for she alone has been "EVER FAITHFUL:" and aha confirms her right now, by giving the LARGEST WHIG MAJORITY, IN PRO PORTION TO HER POPULATION, OF ANY TATE IN THE UNION. Whigs of Indiana we accepted your challenge to give the largest ma jority, proportioned lo Ihe number of freemen : with population less than your own hy at least one-fourth, we have now equalled your splendid majority of 10,000 votes ! As to members of Congress, every dislriet ia Whig!! In the Senate, which stood last year 18 Whigs to 13 Locos, we shall now stand 28 Whigs to Locofocoea ! ! In the House, where we last year ad a bare majority, we shall now stand about 175 Whigs to 55 Locofocoes! ! In a word; VERMONT IS WHIG, North and South, East and West: there is but one small dark spot in the centre, and that will ere long be purified and illuminated by the pure Whig fires which blaxs ao brightly all around us. gyCoinp1ole returns from Fletcher's (5lh) district, give Mattocks, Whig, 179 majority over Fletcher, Van Iluren. Tho Slate, therefore, haa now a unanimous Whig representation in the National Councils last year three Whigs and two Locofocoes. Honor lo Vermont ! LATEST FROM MEXICO. By an arrival at New-York from Havana on lha 2d instant, advices lo July 24ih were received from the Mexicnn capital. I lie most interesting news is compressed Into the following paragraph by Ihe Journal of Commerce: The Revolution, it will be remembered, broke out nn the morning of the 15ih, from which lime lill the bill, inclusive, there was mum or less fighting between the contending parlies nearly every day. Ii appears, however, that during lha whole alTair only 80 of the belligerents were killed or wounded, while on the other hand no less than 400 " peaceable inhabitants" shared Ihe same fate. The first overture for a com promise were made hy the insurgents (under General Urrea) un Ihe 23.1, at the solicitation of the Archbishop and Generals Hern ra, Mischclena and Angulo. Commissioner were appointed on both sides, and, after long continued rnuferences, were uuahlo lo agree. I' tabling was thereupon resumed, nnd continued, mnro or less, lill ihe 2lith inclusive. In the evening ol lhat day the Archbishop waited on President Bostaments, and enlreated him to stop the rffusion rf blood, hy griming lo the insurgents suitable guarantees for ihir safely. Al eleven o'clock of lbs same night a Con vention was sign, d by tho Cominissmiiors ot tho con- lending parlies. Upon Ihe ratification nf this Convention, hostilities ceased. The Government troops limk possession of Ihe Government house, and other points occupied hy lha revollers, who dispeiaed, souiu lo their home, oilier fled, and lha remainder laid down their arms at Ihe plaeo designated by the Commander-in-chief.
